According to police sources, the Elmina District Commander, Chief Superintendent Abraham Bansah, on December 18, 2025, directed a special team to locate and arrest Ebo Noah for interrogation.
The team, led by Police Assistant Superintendents Lawrence Anane and Augustina Quainoo, reportedly carried out intelligence-led operations to trace his whereabouts.
However, the initial operation was unsuccessful, as Ebo Noah could not be found and his location remained unknown.
As part of the investigation, police officers visited the residence of Ebo Noah’s parents in Elmina.

Although the parents cooperated with investigators, they were unable to provide information that could lead to the immediate arrest of their son.
Neighbours and individuals familiar with Ebo Noah were also questioned in an effort to piece together his recent movements and activities.
The police have since launched a fresh and more extensive manhunt following an incident that occurred on December 25, 2025, at about 7:40 p.m.

On that day, a radio presenter with Benya FM, identified as Sofo Blessing, reported to the Elmina District Police Station with a Liberian national named Paul Telly Jalloh.
Jalloh was brought to the police station after travelling from Liberia to Ghana in what authorities now believe was a direct response to messages circulating online and attributed to Ebo Noah.
Jalloh was brought to the police station after travelling from Liberia to Ghana in what authorities now believe was a direct response to messages circulating online and attributed to Ebo Noah.
According to police accounts, Jalloh claimed he journeyed to Elmina specifically to join what was described on social media as “Ebo Noah’s ark.”
Police investigations revealed that the viral prophecy alleged a worldwide flood would occur on December 25, and that safety could only be guaranteed for those who gathered at designated locations in Elmina or Takoradi, where an “ark” was supposedly prepared.

These claims gained traction on various social media platforms, drawing significant public attention and concern.
During interrogation, Jalloh told police that he first encountered the prophecy through social media posts and reports he believed were amplified by international news platforms, including CNN and the BBC, as far back as June 8, 2025.

Convinced of the prophecy’s authenticity, he said he travelled first to Takoradi, then moved through Accra and Cape Coast, before finally arriving at Elmina Beach in search of the alleged ark.
According to Jalloh, it was only after arriving in Elmina that he realised no such ark existed. Distressed and confused, he sought help, which eventually led to his interaction with local authorities.
Local residents familiar with Ebo Noah told police that while he is indeed a native of Elmina, they strongly disputed claims that he is a prophet or that he owns any form of vessel or “ark.”

Some residents described him as a social media personality whose online pronouncements had recently drawn unusual attention.
Following Jalloh’s statement, the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) Immigration Department was formally notified of the case.
